I am liking the hexagon shapes. With so many round medals, it's a nice change of pace.

Okay seeing them all together..., I’m doing better. Still hate the 10k medal but I’m seeing a pattern and like them.
Half and full are my favorites of the bunch. Not the best medals but ... could be worse like that Paris medal. And we get Minnie on the full so I am good.
I can tell you about that feeling of crossing that Marathon finish line and ugly crying. About the late nights and early mornings that I literally would not have changed for the world. The shots. The EE ride with my DIS friends. DATW. So. Many. Memories.We all place different values on the different parts of the experience. Gun to my head, I couldn’t tell you what the Dopey medal looked like this year, but I could tell you all about meeting @garneska and @run.minnie.miles at HH, about the shots I had with @rteetz and @jennamfeo before the 5K, about staying up way too late with my girls before the full.

And you're right. No matter what those medals look like and whether I like them or not, I can look at them on their display with my Pom Poms, my Lei from Poly, my DATW lanyard, and remember each and every moment that made that trip and experience absolutely PERFECT.
Oh, that marathon medal may just rope me in...
^^^This x1000. The medal pales in comparison to the awesome memories!All I know is in 17, I scarfed down the baggie of tortilla chips without even realizing there was cheese in there, too.
It’s okay to be disappointed and maybe the medals will look better in person. Fortunately, they’re just one aspect of that race weekend.

It’s going to be a great, memorable weekend no matter what. But I am sorry you’re so bummed about the medals.
Things I thought I'd never hear (err..read) you say!Same.
I mean, I can't make any decisions until November 4th, and by then I will probably remember how much I hate marathons (not that I've forgotten, I just seem to think that if I try again I may have a less stupid experience), but ... I really like that medal.
Based on what we've seen, I don't care for the backside of Dopey. But I really like the front side so I can always set the spinner to the side I like.The Goofy medal looks cool! But, the backside of Dopey is a little strange... Again, let’s hope it’s cuter in person
While I like the half and longer distance medals just fine, I also hope the final product delivers on what I like. And fixes my concerns about the 5K and 10K medals. I'm not really digging the neon yellow vibe I get on the 5K and 10K medals.I’m warming to them, but I absolutely reserve the right to get triggered if the final products fall short.
After my 2019 Goofy spinner broke on me and I had to tape it together for photos, I'm perfectly fine with a non spinning Goofy medal. I wish Goofy had more color, but if the detail in the artwork shows up in the final medal, I really like the Goofy medal.It is funny how this year's Goofy medal moves, but for the 15th I'm not seeing anything that could be move-able.
I really love that retro Walt Disney World logo. Glad it's prominent on the medals.Ok I like that marathon medal. The spinner and retro vibe are good.
My first half marathon was not a fun experience, but the lure of the coast to coast medal persuaded me to tolerate running that distance exactly two more times especially since one of them would entail a trip to Disney World. And then I went and actually enjoyed my second and third half marathons.I mean, I can't make any decisions until November 4th, and by then I will probably remember how much I hate marathons (not that I've forgotten, I just seem to think that if I try again I may have a less stupid experience), but ...

I think the idea of the reveal was fun. What they should have done in my opinion was do the animation reveal except show us the real medal or maybe even have the characters in question hold the medal at the end.I do wish they could have just waited to see what they actually look like instead of an animation of it.
BahahahahaI just re-read my 2019 Dopey Trip Report and am now trying to calculate out my leave for the rest of the year so I can do Dopey again...........
I've spent this week in the office learning what my business partner has to deal with when I run Dopey next January and Star Wars again in April.I just re-read my 2019 Dopey Trip Report and am now trying to calculate out my leave for the rest of the year so I can do Dopey again...........
I literally just will not have enough time on the books to make Dopey work without sacrificing DATW and that's just not worth it to me.I just re-read my 2019 Dopey Trip Report and am now trying to calculate out my leave for the rest of the year so I can do Dopey again...........
That combination is good enough.I literally just will not have enough time on the books to make Dopey work without sacrificing DATW and that's just not worth it to me.
Goofy + DATW it is then!
